The Power Monitor
July 2010 Altera Corporation
The Power Monitor communicates with the MAX II device on the board through the
JTAG bus. A power monitor circuit attached to the MAX II device allows you to
measure the power that the Arria II GX FPGA device is consuming regardless of the
design currently running.
